Below is the annual review of my blog as provided by WordPress.Com
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read, comment and share my posts with others.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 18,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 7 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Congratulations on your mission and vision for investing in others to make them believe in themselves and create opportunities beyond their wildest imagination. We are inviting you to be a partner member of our Countrystyle Community Tourism Network/Villages as Businesses programme where we are offering training, marketing, business development support and facilitating funding and investment support through our newly formed COMTRUST FUND – Community Tourism Trust Fund where a contribution is included effective Jan 2015 in all our tours and vacation experiences. Our marketing organization is called COCAVAT – Countrystyle Caribbean Vacations and Tours and we have partnered with one of Jamaica’s leading tour operators CARIBIC/OLYMPIA TOURS to marketing our Countrystyle Community Experiences.. We are interested also in collaborating with you – if you are interested, please email me at iiptcaribbean@yahoo.com
